Foundation installation that starts with the ground
Foundation installation in Santa Rosa means building the slab or footings your house rests on. The city's building official issues permits for new buildings and structures unless state code exempts them, so we check what applies to your address before we bid. Then we file the application and meet the inspector.
Before we bid, I help you check your address on the state's EQ Zapp map. If your lot is in a mapped earthquake hazard zone, a geologic and engineering study has to come before any foundation work. Slab size and steel drive the price, and that study and the permit drive the schedule. Your written estimate shows what's included.
Slab choices for a new foundation
Get a quotePost-tensioned slab
Steel cables inside are pulled tight once the concrete cures. One trade group calls it cost-efficient on soils that shrink and swell, and says it can often be built faster.
Rebar-reinforced slab
Rebar, steel bars tied in a grid inside the concrete, is the familiar choice. Like any slab, it can still shift some over the years.
Raised foundation
Concrete footings and a short wall hold the house up over a crawlspace. This suits sloped lots and homes that need room under the floor.
Garage or addition slab
A smaller slab poured beside a house or shop that's already there. For paving around a commercial building, see concrete parking lot building.

Why owners hire us for foundations
Building here since 2021
I spent years pouring and finishing on other people's crews before I started this business in Santa Rosa in 2021.
I'm at the estimate and the pour
I come out to every estimate and I'm on site on pour day. Our own crew places the forms, the steel and the concrete.
Licensed and fully insured
California licenses the contractors who form, pour and finish concrete, and Santa Rosa issues permits only to licensed contractors or owner-builders. We're licensed and fully insured.
